bought a budget android tablet to test out a pre-alpha version of Damus Notedeck on it. Works quite well! Most other apps on this thing are sluggish.

The difference between this app and most other nostr clients is that it only ever talks to the local relay. This reduces the overall experience of latency and lag when using the app. Once the note arrives, it will always load instantly at any point in the future. We will be moving iOS to this model not long after we iron out the bugs on the android side.

Another distinguishing feature is that Damus Android is purely native, it's running directly on the CPU and drawing directly to the GPU. This makes it insanely responsive on all devices, since there is no javascript, web or java overhead.

Excited to release this sometime this year! Building multiple apps in parallel with such a small team is time consuming, but we're getting there. Thank you for your patience!

nostr isn't an identity backup. nostr *is* the identity. here's how to create a backup of it!

run your own relay. that's it!

you can do this in a multitude of methods. here's just a few simple examples to get you started.

on Android you can run a relay on your phone: https://github.com/greenart7c3/Citrine

on Windows you can run a relay on your computer: https://github.com/CodyTseng/nostr-relay-tray

on Umbrel/Start9/Mynode you can run a relay on your own server: https://apps.umbrel.com/app/nostr-relay
https://github.com/Start9Labs/nostr-rs-relay-startos

if you want a DIY method, you can run a variety of relays too:
https://github.com/cameri/nostream (i use this one.)
https://github.com/hoytech/strfry

good luck!


Run it.

The nostr hackathons where incentives were prize money resulted in almost all dead projects.

Goes to show you can't motivate people to make something of quality with a one time reward.

Some of the projects were outright scams and pure nonsense.

PEOPLE WILL VIEW BOTH AS BACKUPS TO CORRUPT ANTIQUATED LEGACY SYSTEMS UNTIL THEY BECOME THE STANDARD.

I'd just like to pause and marvel at the fact that photos and videos of world events are effortlessly hitting my feed, and lively discussions from all sides of the political spectrum are happening in real time around them. Raw, uncensored, and without anyone in the middle.

#nostr works, and in times like these it's very much needed.


The best compliment you can get as an open source developer is when a VC funded startup offers you unpaid review of their closed source fork. Then rebrands your project and pitches the same features to Bitcoin Magazine. Anyway get it open source here: https://docs.photonsdk.org https://image.nostr.build/904d1157f916caa01e1d67b661fa9a425222db8748fae606d4370a16cb36319e.jpg


Between zaps, nwc, and the increasingly powerful kind 21000, Nostr's clear product-market-fit is as a lightning overlay network and coordination layer... "Layer 3"

ECashers want to muddle this with shitcoins but we know shitcoiners can only imitate

ShockWallet and Lightning.Pub are the OG nLightened stack


not knowing if its real until you send it has lots of psycological implications that would lead to a negative perspective on bitcoin... is it worth it? I don't know if tons of unreliable mints that go defunct is a good idea. look at what happened with relays, now half the ecash in your wallet no longer work after awhile? I dunno man.


Lets say you start receiving lots of different  ecash zaps from many different mints. How so you know which are legit and which are not? There is no guarantee that any of them are actually redeemable? nostr:note1qzye7ekjgq2gw6rr5v5vc3h6mf2043tshtnsmdk6vskx26dlgx5qskqz34


Curious about this new BIP 353/Human Readable Names thing but don’t have a wallet that supports it yet? Want to see if you set it up right?

Head over to https://satsto.me/ to resolve them to legacy addresses!

It’s not just BOLT12, either, any reusable bitcoin addresses can go in there (but preferably ones that don’t cause on-chain address reuse)!


The incentive structure on NOSTR isn’t nearly as pure and obvious as it is in Bitcoin. Bitcoin works because everyone is incentivized to participate, in one way or another.

NOSTR is a platform you can choose to use but if anything it gives you less than legacy social media. Sometimes less is more but still … the incentive to use NOSTR isn’t pure and obvious. nostr:note1f7zrudzgxxq29m0rh3ne5exq9qzwvahvaguszr40an7m3uzws3ysaxt7ht


Just realized that before long qna@bitcoiner.guide can also house a Silent Payment address too.

One easy to remember address for Lightning and On-chain payments. If/when widely adopted, we'll truly have that 'Venmo feel' the normies crave. 🤯

The token that exists before is destroyed (spent) when you lock to a pubkey, which results in a new token. The old token can not be spent again.


Decentralized smart contracts.  What if every npub could create unlimited smart contracts?  Updated using nostr, and witnessed using bitcoin taproot.  The fees go to the npub for updating the contract.  Honest npubs gain a reputation for honest validation, and state changes.  No need for a server, or blockchain, all the heavy lifting is done by nostr and bitcoin.  So a npub validator can live on a phone, and gain income through honesty.


THE MONEY IS IN THE NOSTR!

👉 Create a new npub AND DOING NOTHING ELSE, no WoS, no nostr-wallet-connect pairing,... NOTHING

☑ receive zaps
☑ send zaps
☑ and most importantly ACCESS MY WALLET FROM ANY CLIENT ON ANY DEVICE

these zaps are verifiable, way faster -- they are immediate (since the sending of the ecash is the zap, instead of waiting for a LN node to, maybe, publish a zap receipt)

Just like our contact lists follows us around, just like our profile data and our shitposts pops up in any nostr application, now so does our sats.

the money is in the nostr!

I tried to upvote, but they wanted to confirm my email even though I had already confirmed in the past and voted on some things. I got the confirmation email and clicked, but was redirected to a page about buying ads on Product Hunt for some reason and it still had a flash message telling me to confirm email. I tried clicking again and resending the confirmation, but nothing worked (the confirmation email was never resent).

Then I logged out and logged in with a different account, in which case they made me go through many pages of registration process and after all of that I had to confirm my email, this time the email never reached my inbox.

Nostr is never going to beat this UX.


I'm extremely grateful for bitcoin developers and will continue to be grateful for the rest of my life.


#subkeys are the way forward in nostr.  Not necessarily the best design, and not necessarily the best UX.  But they are future proofed, and very simple to do.  Put a subkey in your profile, and that is signed proof of the link from parent to child.


Had an idea for scaling submarine swaps into a multi-party protocol, and got some interesting results. Have a look:

https://conduition.io/scriptless/multi-party-submarine-swaps/


Moving from on-chain to LN and back with submarine swaps relies on single submarine swap provider such as Loop or Boltz, but what would happen if we scaled it to include more parties?

Freedom tech relies on users stepping up and contributing wherever they can.

If you're a dev, consider reviewing some open PRs. If you're a writer, publish a blog or post on forums. If you're a teacher, teach others why it's important tech. If you're an uncle Jim, help others to install and set everything up.

And regardless of who you are, consider sending financial support as well. Most contributors to freedom tech would earn insanely more money if they worked in slave tech.

It's your moral obligation to support the people who work on the tools of your liberation.

#Bitcoin Twitter has lost its sense and signal, overwhelmed by influencers, grifters, and larpers. They've impacted the minds of followers, who now mimic them in a bid for likes, turning into noisy accounts recycling the same worthless content.

On-boarding people to Nostr now is like: Well, you can use Amethyst, which by now is so complicated only devs can enjoy it but still you won't be able to tag a profile in a note and have to copy the npub over from another app, like Primal! ...which can't do the most basic things like blocking accounts on this bot infested protocol of ours. Oryou get an iPhone to install Damus which they say is slick but that's of course only to be loved by the guys locked in the Apple panopticon but with just some hacky workarounds you get the cool functions too. Then there are web clients that require browser extensions for the login, which of course don't work on your smartphone. Sometimes you see NIP or other Lingua Nostr on options and buttons, then you just have to research on github & wiki do learn what it is or better not click it.... But yeah. Welcome to

The companies poised to dominate the digital financial infrastructure of Latin America have arisen courtesy of the self-described "mafia" multiplier, Endeavor. Flush with funds from billionaires linked to the US intelligence and organized crime, Endeavor's influence over the CEOs it has championed promises that, with the ushering in of a new financial system, a wave of covert dollarization will shortly follow.

Basically blastr built into a client directly now. Glad to see clients catch onto one of the two main reasons why I built it in the first place.

I still think real private information retrieval is where we should end up on the read side. It really is a concern that your client developer is also your main/only relay where they can see EVERYTHING you do here.

The Introduction of Keychat

Keychat is a chat app, built on Bitcoin ecash, Nostr protocol and Signal protocol.

Keychat is inspired by the postal system — stamps, post offices, letters.

Keychat uses Bitcoin ecash as stamps and Nostr relays as post offices.

Senders send messages stamped with Bitcoin ecash to Nostr relays. The Nostr relays collect the Bitcoin ecash, then deliver messages to receivers.

Unlike the centralized postal system, Keychat can use multiple Bitcoin ecash issuers and Nostr relays, each maintained by distinct operators.

Keychat uses Signal protocol to ensure message encryption security and meta-data privacy.

The content of the letter can be exposed easily by opening the envelope. Keychat messages are end-to-end encrypted via Signal protocol, with a unique encryption key generated for each message. Only the sender and receiver can decrypt the message.

The addresses of both parties on the envelope can be tracked. In theory, this problem is solved if they change addresses daily. So Keychat reuses Signal protocol to update sending and receiving addresses for nearly every message.

Like the postal system, Keychat requires no registration. Users just generate Nostr keys as ID.

Totally agree!

Nostr is really good at things you want everyone to see, specially public square.

Nostr is not good at private things, like private group chat replacement or DMs.

And that's ok.

Focus on the things you are good at.


A common misconception in the Nostr community is that Nostr is not suitable for private things. nostr:note1qrmcntn00ss0tkdvqh6r26m8j543wpczhz7dv0q985mh92dlgjespnfrju

Pretty good privacy flow that covers *most* average Bitcoin use cases 👇

BUY 🤖 - For use when you want to obtain sats that are not tied to your personal identity #noKYConly
➡  Robosats Trade > Use proxy invoice when withdrawing to own your node > Accumulate/spend from own node.

SPEND 🪙  - For use when you want to use Bitcoin as money
➡  Not too much to say here, LN has good base level sender privacy when using your own node.

STORE 🧊   - For use when your node balance gets close to channel capacity, or to a value that you want to move to cold storage
➡ Carry out atomic swap on something like https://boltz.exchange (use the .onion address) to go from your Lightning channel balance, straight to an address controlled by your hardware wallet. Boltz has a 0.5% service fee, plus you'll of course need to pay miner fees, which are negligible at the time of writing.

NOTES 📔

🟧 Your purchase sizes are limited by your inbound liquidity. Plan ahead!
🟧 If you don't want to or can't run a node, swap out that step for a nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 Olympus channel with a lightweight node on your phone. I recommend Zeus because spends from there are more private than in Phoenix due to client side path finding
🟧 When using the proxy invoice feature in Robosats, you may need to adjust routing fee and proxy provider allowances slightly

Happy to take questions or comments. Put down the CashApp and give it a go anon, I dare you!

Bitcoin Tech Talk #404

https://jimmysong.substack.com/p/bitcoin-tech-talk-404


I am still coming to term with #nostr having a radically different architecture that requires a radically different thinking mode on how you build apps.

The latest radical insight is that the network becomes the database. Any database record you generate can be a #nostr event that is signed, relayed, but most importantly encrypted by you (NIP44).

This approach breaks the back on commercial platform capture and lock-in.

To date, commercial platforms have always had the play of providing free services to get you into their closed databases with database records about you. Then over time, those records (not controlled by you) lead to, in the words of Cory Doctorow, “enshittification” of everything about the service and the relationship with you. Also, massive breaches are just an event waiting to happen.

With #nostr, the traditional model is flipped on its head. Instead of feeding a commercial service to generate database records about you, you can generate and sign events that can be stored on any relay, or in the network as a whole.

So just like your nostr npub is no longer beholden to a commercial provider, your nostr events (database records) need no longer to be beholden as well.

I am not discounting the existing commercial platforms. I’m just saying there is now a whole other approach. New commercial models will be discovered eventually, but right now the imperative is to experiment with this radically new approach.

Special thanks to nostr:npub1l2vyh47mk2p0qlsku7hg0vn29faehy9hy34ygaclpn66ukqp3afqutajft who got me thinking this way.


If you run Core Lightning, please post your Bolt 12 offer below. Want to do some payment tests.

AML/CFT laws make you less safe. Not more.

In 2022, 78% of European banks experienced a data breach. Yet AML/CFT laws continue to attempt to mandate increasing amounts of data collection, from IP Addresses to social media activities. This data is routinely targeted, exploited, and sold on dark markets.

In honor of gigabrain takes like "We NeEd SuRrVeiLlAnCe To FiGhT CrImE", this Rage Weekly I compiled a list of 40+ recent data breaches involving the leak of personal data – just in case anyone tries to tell you that increased surveillance leads to an increase in security.

#HIVETALK  - A few notes about the now open source project

#HIVETALK  is now open source and here are a few notes about the Project.

This is a long form article, you can read it in https://habla.news/a/naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzqwrcm9wm0wz5cwsd8vkkk7lehu5txctzhejrym64yxa8rnemgknfqqxnzdejxqensdphxgen2df4drz6p2

#HIVETALK  - Just a few notes about the Project:

- HiveTalk is primarily for helping people connect and screenshare on nostr and lightning in ways that was not available before.

- The Goal of this project is to get a working zoom/jitsi equivalent with no data collection of calls and with as much privacy as possible.  No data on the server is logged. It was born out of frustration at using existing platforms such as Discord, Zoom, Jitsi which often fail to work effectively for Linux users. This project's long term goal is to be lean, minimal, and not to be captured by Big Tech. however, menu translations are still done by google translate and can be removed if you want.  Dependencies are as barebones as possible with no frameworks.

- The websockets and REST API will be reworked and out soon so that integration with other apps will be a possibility. If you are interested, shoot the @hivetalk account a DM so that we can get you involved in an early beta test.

- I will not be pursing an open sats grant. My github contributions are about ~10hrs a week, spare time split across multiple projects. Currently I have no intention to be a full time developer (again). If I am not delivering fast enough to satisfy your needs, I am sorry :D, but you are welcome to make a Pull Request.

- Your zaps from the last 2 months will be applied 100% toward funding server costs for the next year. Any additional zaps will help extend the life of the server.

 If you use this project, please consider donating to it at https://donate.hivetalk.org or by zapping this post

I wouldn't say the conclusion is so simple as "don't install Signal" because it remains superior to typical alternatives (i mean if you're gonna use text or Telegram instead, just use Signal), BUT this is a very important security consideration.

From  nostr:npub1exwkjulsaqdh5xlplwrnzs3z0p9shf54hw3kxj4pu8eq3wc35y0qu08x90
----------------------------------------------------
"Don't install @SignalApp for macOS, it is not secure.

I carried out this small experiment:

- I wrote a simple Python script that copies the directory of Signal's local storage to another location (to mimic a malicious script or app)
- I ran the script in the Terminal and got a copy of my Signal data on my Mac
- I booted a fresh macOS installation in a virtual machine
- I transferred the copy of Signal's data to the VM and placed it where Signal expects it: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Signal
- I installed Signal and started it
- Signal started and restored my session with all the chat histories 😳
- I exchanged a couple messages with a contact from the VM and it worked 😳
- Then, I started Signal on the Mac
- I got three sessions running in unison: Mac, iPhone, and VM 😳

Messages were either delivered to the Mac or to the VM. The iPhone received all messages. All of the three sessions were live and valid. Signal didn't warn me of the existence of the third session [that I cloned]. Moreover, Signal on the iPhone still shows one linked device. This is particularly dangerous because any malicious script can do the same to seize a session.

Perhaps this flaw is what makes some users think that Signal has a "backdoor" as it is easy for sophisticated attackers to target a victim who's using the Mac app and see their chats. (The same may be also true for the Windows app)

#privacy #security"

------------------------------------------------

"This video shows that
@signalapp
 (7.15.0) on macOS stores photos and docs sent through the app locally without encryption. Worse, the files are stored in a location accessible by any app or script. However, text messages are stored locally in an encrypted DB."

Nostr Identity + Relays scales to 1000s

Nostr Identity + NIP-98 scales to billions


The SHA-256 algorithm processes input data to produce a 256-bit hash value. Here's a step-by-step walkthrough of the algorithm:

1. Padding: The input message is padded to make its length a multiple of 512 bits. This is done by appending a single '1' bit, followed by '0' bits, and then a 64-bit representation of the original message length.

2. Initialization: Eight 32-bit buffers (A to H) are initialized with specific hexadecimal values derived from the first 32 bits of the fractional parts of the square roots of the first 8 prime numbers.

3. Message schedule: The padded message is divided into 512-bit blocks. Each block is further divided into 16 32-bit words. These words are expanded into 64 32-bit words using a specific formula.

4. Compression function: This is the core of the algorithm, consisting of 64 rounds of operations. In each round:
The current state (A to H) is mixed with the message schedule word and a constant K[i].
Bitwise operations (AND, XOR, rotations) are performed.
The state is updated for the next round.

5. Final addition: After processing all blocks, the final values of A to H are added to their initial values.
Output: The final state of the eight 32-bit words (A to H) is concatenated to produce the 256-bit hash value.

This process ensures that any change in the input, no matter how small, results in a completely different hash value, making SHA-256 useful for integrity verification and digital signatures.

no run ups on penalties
offsides only past half way between goal and halfway line
allow people to run full speed on set plays before the ball is kicked
6-team groups with only winner going to semifinal


that's 100% the goal

when I'm done we'll be able to:

* have a single balance across all nostr apps
* no QR codes / NWC secrets
* zaps are immediate -- no need for a zap receipt -- if you send the zap the zap is received -- sending money will be exactly as fast as publishing a note or creating a 👍 event
* there's no need to signup for a wallet, your nsec is your wallet

How many sats could a modern phone mine within an hour or so?

Obviously not much, but is it at least > 3 sats?

If yes, this might be a good opportunity to have a "faucet" in any app, the mining pool could payout ecash, and the user gets started with at least some sats to start zapping.


Public will never be better than private, public will never reach the virtuosity of private, because public has no incentives, and people are driven by incentives.

Public never achieves excellence.

Governments spend millions in R&D and it is never good for shit, R&D always comes from private enterprise.

The only thing governments are good at is spying on people, that's what they are good at, because it is their incentive, they need to know everything about people to plunder them to the last cent.

Yup, NIP-41. PR is still open but needs more support from devs. I think addressing moving to another npub in a non-catastrophic way is still one of the big hurdles to be solved


Nostr is open source, things like "trending" doesn't even exist in my client, development has been happening and very fast imo. There aren't enough developers to do all the things that are possible and that people want, even less devs that get paid somehow. Key rotation is a very difficult problem to solve, I guess because of that it's not a priority and for now we must just deal with that, maybe something based on web of trust can solved it. IP and Metadata leaks are just how nostr and the internet works, my advice to people is, don't use your real identity and maybe nuke your npub from time to time. But even that is being worked on other fronts, many apps are moving from url/dns coms to Nostr events, wich is already a big deal, IPs like Vitor said is the last boss, but many projects can be a solution in the future. The thing is Nostr may have some flaws now, but it's already a lot better than other solutions and it has a lot more potential, it just needs time because there is a ton of possibilities and a few devs.

#nostr is becoming a real nothing burger! No key management! Total control of the majority of devs by proxy VCs and non-profits! Complete circle jerking and simping! Implementation of eCash and Fedi, which are again VC investments! Almost zero development since I joined it! Thousands of printed bot followers! Trending 24 are VCs and their simps! Fuck it, to be honest! This is not the place I wanted to be a part of!


Yes, unfortunately that is the case.  It happens far too often on nostr, for example fiatjaf's njump dot me and benarc's nostr dot com contain spyware that deliberately send your ip address and browsing history to certain VC (bad guys imho), without gaining user consent.  I try to raise awareness of this, but there is very little action, sadly.  Nostr needs to develop good reputations for those that respect privacy.  Most currently do not.  Sadly.

ShockWallet has been using Nostr to sync across apps and devices for awhile

But it does it correctly, with device tokens, a remote signer, and self-hosted nodes... Not custodial shitcoins subject to the insecurities of your NSec

The imitators see the potential but don't understand the how

https://m.primal.net/JJZY.png


password managers generate a unique password for each website. this means if one of your passwords leaks it won't compromise any of your other website logins.

nostr-login is a regression: if you leak your nsec then they have access to every website that you've ever logged in to.

using your npub for logging into everything is a really bad idea security wise, please be conscious of this before implementing or pushing this as a login solution to websites which may contain sensitive information.

Bitcoin journalism is fucked.

I started The Rage because I'm tired of investors and advertisers telling me what to do for below minimum wage compensation.

What we need are publications willing to let journalists investigate the crap out of the companies, representatives and people enabling the building of surveillance tech behind the scenes.

What we get are publications selling out to corporations, startups and politicians writing public relations puff pieces to keep their returns on track. The point of journalism is to hold power to account, not to become its bedfellow.

There is no lack of talented, experienced, investigative journalists covering bitcoin. The problem is that they write what the powers that be don't want you to hear – so many are out of a job, dabbling away at the next press release for mainstream media, or doing below-minimum wage contract work to pay the bills.

I'm incredibly overwhelmed by all the positive feedback we've been getting for The Rage. In just 8 weeks we've scooped major publications and drove discussions around AML, Samourai and Tornado Cash together with your help. We've even made enough to cover operations with almost 400$ raised, thanks to all the zappers out there.

But here's the thing. I didn't come here to write a good piece every once in a while leaving stories untold left and right because I can't afford to focus on investigations full time. I came here to fuck up the financial surveillance complex. That's why The Rage now needs your help.

We're trying to raise 0.25BTC so we can contract the best investigative journalists in the Bitcoin space to tell the stories that major publications can't afford to print.

If you value your financial freedom, please consider donating via our Geyser fund. We cannot do this without your help.

Good morning. Today is a good day. The US Government has agreed to release TDev on bail according to a letter filed on July 3rd.

TDev's defense makes incredibly smart arguments, stating that the US Government's prosecution is as "aggressive as it is expansive, akin to charging Apple for  cybercrimes commited with MacBooks. And like such a charge, it impermissibly uses criminal law to affect policy change. He is facing  charges he can, should, and will contest at trial."

Putting the charges in context, the defense states that "to stop Bitcoin wallet providers from providing privacy and security services, or to  force them to police their customers as banks must, the government has not sought to change the law, or even FinCEN’s guidance on it."

The letter states that the US Government "has prosecuted individuals operating a service they had every reason to  believe was legal, and stretched to decorate the charges with  decontextualized quotes that attempt to sketch out their agreement to  criminal transactions the government does not allege they knew about in  advance or explicitly agreed to".

So, I wrote a quick little Apple TV app which simply gives you the real-time Bitcoin price. It just connects up Bitfinex's public web socket api. I'll probably release it soon just for the heck of it. I will also make it open-source.

The best way to find your true self is to serve something greater than yourself.

Every morning, I reflect on where I'm currently at, knowing I'll dearly miss these times when they are over. During the day, I'm preparing for the near future by coding, testing, and playing with tech. For a developer, there is no time like when you are fully focused and excited about what you're contributing to. I honestly can't wait for deployment and release.

And then at night, when the parties start... my God. This is what Uncle has been training for his whole life. There is something genius about destroying and losing yourself without limits.

The people around me are the biggest part of the experience. It's fulfilling to work with those I genuinely respect for their skills and what they bring to the table. And when you party with people that have known you for your whole life and still love you... it impossible not to be in a good place.

Bitcoin has had a profound impact by curating my surroundings. It has both connected and disconnected me from individuals. It has given me specific goals, forcing me to do things I wouldn't otherwise do. Sometimes it was extremely challenging, as my entire being was rebelling against taking certain actions. However, upon reflection, I realized there was no choice.

Either I serve as committed, or I don't. And serving has brought me here. To moments like this, where I feel compelled to capture the enjoyment and gratitude I feel and share it as a beacon for others.

Serve Bitcoin, and it will serve you. ✊🗽

I had a revelation yesterday afternoon. I was going back over nip29 and trying to make sense of kind 10,11. They are described as "This is the basic unit of a microblog root text note sent to a group." and threaded version. This confused me, however after speaking with nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 I realized the more accurate meaning  which as that kind 10/11 are meant to facilitate what we know as a forum. Wow! This is an amazing discovery to me. Not only does nip29 bring support for simple chat groups, but also groups which have threaded forum posts. I absolutely love this and am more excited about nip29 than ever before!

Today is gonna be an off day for me as I spend time with the family, but when I get back I will be integrating this forum functionality into Seer. Cheers everyone!

“Bitcoin is the instantiation of a revolutionary idea: a system that cannot discriminate; that does not wield violence; that does not have special rules for the rich; that does not require identification or a particular status or level of wealth or race or creed to use; and whose rules cannot be manipulated by governments. Satoshi arguably took the best ideas from Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and their colleagues and gifted them to people around the world…

What if our monetary future does not continue down this path of centralization and debasement but, rather, follows a new path of decentralization and growing value? Today’s dollar hegemony was engineered by Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger. Tomorrow, the currency of America could be based on the twin ideals of the Founding Fathers and Satoshi Nakamoto…

On July 4, 1821, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams warned of an America that would become a global imperium “in search of monsters to destroy.” An America where the “fundamental maxims of her policy” have “insensibly changed from liberty to force,” where we have become “the dictatress of the world.”

Perhaps Bitcoin can help Americans reflect on our history and remember that our true glory, in Adams’s words, is “not dominion, but liberty,” and that our true march is “of the mind” and not the sword.”

Working on handling images/videos/link's in Seer today.

With images, I'll put them inline, but with videos and link's, I will use Link Presentations framework that Apple provides. This allows me to generate rich links with image, icon and other metadata with no external api.

Can Bitcoin help end wars and bring world peace?

This investigation into the petrodollar system is the best evidence I've seen for why this might be the case

Read this conclusion, at least, and start to think about what the world would look like if the reserve currency and currency needed to buy oil wasn't owned by one country but rather was an open, neutral, decentralized currency

This would be good for the world and, critically, good for America as we would focus our incredible potential and resources on progress instead of blowing people up

Thoughts on OP_CAT article by blockstream

Article doesnt explain well why we need a fork.  Any fork has a chance of destroying bitcoin through a chain split.  So the argument has to be really good.  So far it's niche R&D and use cases that have not demonstrated a large appetite. And the risks are not fully explained.  The surface of what we can do with the current tooling has barely been scratched, and that's an indication that there is not a pressing need, right now.  It would however be a great social attack on bitcoin if it is able to split the community.  Obviously something bitcoiners dont want, and bitcoin's rivals do want!

People like noting & fearing the concept of "network effect" when it comes to "social media" apps.

What people want is to connect, for various reasons. They connect via "marketplaces" which is what social media apps really are.

Each of the "algorithms" in these "social media" marketplaces allow "matching" of data, just like an order book in an exchange. The exchanged data may contain messages, files, metadata, payments, etc.

Understand that when you are building a "social" app, or any app that connects people, you are building a marketplace where the service you provide is matching peers with what they are looking for.

It isn't some silly opportunity to build in virtue-signaling tools or incidental tipping features. You are building a marketplace, literally and figuratively.

Your job is to connect people, to connect data, not worry about how difficult it will be to convert people. If you solve their problems better, they will use your network... and most people use multiple networks anyway.

Focus on why people would ever use your app at all. Do you seriously think most people care about tipping? About censorship? Most people don't like tipping and most people aren't censored. What can your app actually do better than other apps?

Is your app just some reactive fomo nonsense response to a niche hype cycle? Are you chasing a bandwagon or solving problems in new ways?

This is part of the thinking behind what are building at Synonym, which we will share in October, and have already started leaking pieces of, if you're paying attention.

For those who are coming from #bitcoin shitter to #nostr, I have a small piece of advice since I have been testing the vibes, moods, and what people like or not.
Nostr is different! Even most of us came or coming from shitter it’s pointless on here: be angry, complain, dunk on someone, be toxic, talk about how you are bullish on bitcoin or nostr on a daily basis, simp, creating circle jerk vibes, ask for sats, jobs, cancel people, and I keep going but gonna stop here because you know what I am talking about! It simply doesn’t work! Everyone can tell you that I have tried almost everything mentioned above and it was a failed experiment that will lead to the “ignore the noise” vibe and you will be in echo chamber and most likely come back to shitter. Just be yourself, be nice to people, share some cool ideas, report bugs, ask for new features, share news, articles, your life experience, be helpful and you will fall in love with nostr! Good luck 🫡

The fiat ponzi will continue to deteriorate bringing more people to Bitcoin but no mass adoption.

Bitcoin as an asset will attract massive capital inflows. Overtaking gold. Most people will keep being ignorant but many will start stacking sats and see it as more liquid investment than real estate, stocks, other tradfi.

Bitcoin/LN will be used as settlement layer on tradfi.

Banks will offer bitcoin custody services.

Banks allow borrowing with bitcoin as collateral.

Ark will fix some LN issues and will be integrated in LN wallets with seamless ux.

3rd world/high inflation countries will see big Bitcoin adoption.

No hyperbitcoinization, we will contiue orange pilling one by one.

Same way, merchant adoption will continue to grow but one by one.

More communities building circular exonomies.

El Salvador adoption of Bitcoin will be a big success.

Humble sats stackers becoming millionaires will improve the world with their wealth.

We will achieve this by onboarding plebs one by one.

I may have nuked my Twitter account, but that move isn't right for everyone. The Nostr conversation on Twitter still needs to continue.

On Twitter, I had over 18K followers. All I've discussed over the last 18 months has been Nostr. They've all seen my Nostr conversations by now. I'm not growing my audience on Twitter outside of the Bitcoiner audience and ecosystem. I was essentially speaking into the void there. I was going to purple pill any new followers. My community is already purple pilled. My community and my family are here 🥹

For those with much larger reaches outside of "Bitcoin Twitter", it makes sense to continue using Twitter with hope to purple pill as many as people possible. People such as nostr:nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7c3mw52 that have larger reaches such as macro-economics or investing topics on Twitter. nostr:nprofile1qqs9336p4f3sctdrtft2wlqaq5upjz9azpgylhfd3dplwf005mfrr9spz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7ljf7kf also has a different reach than many, discussing human rights and various freedoms for various groups of people around the world. Or even nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qzxthwden5te0wpuhyctdd9jzuenfv96x5ctx9e3k7mgpzfmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujue3h0ghxjmcaz6nhw who has an incredible amount of reach and engagement from the wider tech community. It makes sense for many individuals to continue the conversation where more users are speaking, for now.

This will change eventually as communities and audiences gravitate towards freedom protocols and permissionless interactions. But we're not there yet and much work is to be done.

Keep building.

Lots of gems.
